I wouldnt pay this much for sure. Price based on condition of course but £100 should get you a good copy easily

Yep, agreed. About £125 for a 1963 near fine copy in similar jacket, based on what I have seen on eBay the last couple of years.

1942 Book Club Hobbit unsold at £800, seller has re-listed, suspect the outcome will be the same.

Yep, it is double the price it should be, given the condition and what we know of past sales.
